The Meatrix & Store Wars

If you’re not into long depressing documentaries on the industrial food like the ones I mentionned last month, here are two well crafted animation short based on well-known movies.

The link to The Meatrix was passed a lot by email, so many already saw it. Based on (ha-ha) The Matrix synopsis, it shows how Leo the pig discovers the reality of its meat condition behind the illusion of the happy farm. Two sequels go deeper into the problems. In The Meatrix II – Revolting, Leo and his friends visit a dairy farm to try and fight its ways. And The Meatrix II ½ shows how fast food hamburgers are processed… Behind the short movies, a lot of information and clues on how to not participate to this industry.

More into vegetables ? Grocery Store Wars was created for the Organic Trade Association, it’s longer but still less than five minutes. In this one, the cucumber Skywalker tries to save Princess lettuce from the vegetables under the influence of the dark side of the farm. Satr Wars goes to the supermarket… and also informs you on your foods after the film. May the farm be with you…
